Republican Texas judge orders lesbian couple to live apart or lose children | The Raw Story

This case has Supreme Court written all over it. Judge Roach is applying the law, but the law will be challenged in court.

This is example 1 as to why the Republicans are finished as a national party. The gen x ers and millennials will not have anything to do with them in the future.

The ladies will either have to move from each other or move to a more civilized part of the country where people have evolved past being cavemen and neanderthals. Being a homosexual in the south just invites all kinds of trouble.

Figures..you people don't READ.

Her divorce papers had a morality clause that didn't allow "ANYONE" she was dating or in a relationship in the home after 9pm.

The question then becomes why was a morality clause added in her divorce papers ?

This is not anti-gay at all. If she were dating a man that same clause would be in effect.
People are pathetic in how they take a story and turn it into anti-gay.
Thank "Think Progress" for forming an opinion for you based on faulty interpretation of the story.

Daily Kos: Texas judge orders lesbian couple to split up or lose children
..the “morality clause” in Compton’s divorce papers on Tuesday, May 7. Under the clause, someone who has a “dating or intimate relationship” with the person or is not related “by blood or marriage” is not allowed after 9 p.m. when the children are present.

Well yeah..they need to move to a state where they can get married so they can live together.
Makes you wonder why that morality clause got added to her divorce papers though.

This is really a infringement on liberty.

In fact, it sucks....unless the child is being abused in some way.

Start voting for libertarians, regardless of party affiliation.

According to the divorcee, the judge included the morality clause in the divorce specifically because he "disagreed" with her lesbian "lifestyle".

And it most certainly is a gay issue. But for gay marriage not being legal in Texas, this women could simply marry her partner and this issue would not exist.

Really ? Then how did that get into her divorce papers ?
How did that divorce go through ? Did she not object then ?
Why did her and her lawyer allow that clause to be put in her divorce papers ?
Did she think it wouldn't be enforced ?

This isn't an anti-gay issue at all.

Well, move out of Texas.

Simple.
